Commitments and Contingencies

The Company's commitments, including significant license agreements, are disclosed in Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no material changes to its commitments except those discussed below.

Concurrently with the Company entering into and later amending the Vertex Agreement, the Company entered into a sublicense agreement with Vertex, which was amended in October 2023 (Sublicense Agreement). Pursuant to the Sublicense Agreement, the Company granted to Vertex an exclusive sublicense under certain intellectual property licensed to the Company under the license agreement (OSIF License Agreement), dated December 14, 2018, by and between the Company and Ohio State Innovation Foundation (OSIF), as amended. See Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 for further discussion of the OSIF License Agreement. The material terms of the Sublicense Agreement mirror those of the Vertex Agreement, and the payments described in connection with the Vertex Agreement above are in consideration for the rights granted under both the Vertex Agreement and Sublicense Agreement. Pursuant to the OSIF License Agreement, in April 2023, the Company paid OSIF a sublicense fee of $2.8 million. The sublicense fee was recorded in research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. No other sublicense fees were owed to OSIF as of September 30, 2023. If the Company receives any additional sublicensing consideration, it will owe additional fees to OSIF pursuant to the terms of the OSIF License Agreement.
